Huh. I had no idea there was a Slug & Murs comic book. Going to have to look into that.

Well, that was a 10-best list I didn't see coming.
Also needs more Alan Moore and Tim Perkins.

Couldn't even make a Warren Ellis "joke". Thanks for butchering the rest of my day, Artw.
Also I am having difficulty taking Grant Morrison seriously since he wrote himself into Animal Man wearing thigh-high boots. Further, was Buddy Baker wearing a Badger t-shirt in that one issue?
You know who would make a good teamup? Brian Michael Bendis and Philip Glass. It would be the single longest thing ever.

It is with great regret that i did not name this thread "Alan Moore knows the score", c.f. Can U Dig It - PWEI .
So I used an obscure 2000ad reference instead.

Didn't Frank Zappa hang out with Jack Kirby? I think I remember seeing that on the blue a couple months ago.

This list sort of feels like "Ten Musician/Comic Artist Friendships I Happen To Know Of At The Moment."

Also Kim Boekbinder might maybe possibly almost kinda in time be doing something for my project in development. In the meantime she's working with Molly for a stop motion animated music video

had forgotten about Wyndorf & Miller. Monster Magnet is reponsible for the single greatest rock lyric tribute ever: "And I thinking how the world should cried on the day that Jack Kirby died"
Amen, brother. A-fucking-men.

I used to think the two Warren Ellises were the same person
When I was in 9th or 10th grade i was reading Death: The High Cost of Living in class. A girl I know saw it, lunged out of her seat, yelled 'TORI!' and grabbed the book.
Last year Amanda Palmer was on an Aussie music quiz show. She correctly identified a quote by Tori Amos. Wonder how she felt about that....
as for Dave Wyndorf, no mention of the lyrics to Melt? "And I was thinkin' how the world should have cried. On the day Jack Kirby died." plus "Ego the Living Planet"...
and no Jamie Hewlett and Gorilliz?

Pretty sure you're mistaking Glass for La Monte Young there.

Really surprised at the lack of not only Hewlett/Albarn, but the further lack of Bryan Lee O'Malley and Anamanaguchi, who scored the Scott Pilgrim video game (and are his bros now). Also how about Menomena and Craig Thompson (Blankets)--he won a Grammy for best packaging for their album and toured with them drawing live while they played.
And Neil Gaiman twice? What a badly-researched article.

Good grief, the second FPP in less than a week where the VV fails with comics? Jim Woodring and Bill Frisell have actually done a project together, and it is brilliant, but oh, Todd McFarlane did an album cover once and there are two guys named Warren Ellis, holy fuck, man.

No mention of Jack Kirby and Frank Zappa. Both dead, admittedly, but discovering they were friends is one of those moments when you feel two jigsaw-pieces the size of planets click satisfyingly together.

Interestingly enough - Pop Will Eat Itself, which went from quirky pop-punk to funky brit-hop to grimmer industrial rock before disappearing, was also the home to frontman Clint Mansell - who has composed several very recognizable and compelling film scores for Darren Aronofsky as well as others, working frequently with the Kronos Quartet, and is now slated to score Mass Effect 3.
i've wanted to do a post on clint and the poppies for a while, but couldn't figure out a way to frame it other than 'look what a favorite musician is doing!'
